May Not Be Married At All In Harvey County Case
A Wichita special reports Judge Reed in Harvey County Kansas found a license issued by a county clerk without Probate Judge present bypassed marriage barriers. The ruling could affect numerous marriages within two years, including a case where farm hand Andrew Kineberly wed Cora Bunton, age twelve, via misrepresentation. The father John Bunton sought annulment, and the decision questions the license validity since no statutory provision supported clerk issued licenses when probate judge was absent. Further inquiry notes a pattern of neighboring county clerks issuing licenses during Probate Judge absences, potentially tying many marriages to the issue.
